Ma Chao escorted Xiahou Shang and led the army to attack Chen Liu. When Chen Liu's defenders saw the enemy coming, they were like facing a great enemy. Ma Chao didn't delay, and directly pushed Xiahou Shang out, and then took out Ren Jun's strength. shouted to the city: "Chen Liutai's garrison was defeated and died, and Xiahou Shang, the general of the reinforcements, has been captured by me, so why don't you open the city and surrender quickly?" ”

At the head of the city, the county lord and the county lieutenant who heard the news couldn't help but be shocked when they looked at the relics of Xiahou Shang and Taishou Ren Jun below. I didn't expect the Han army to be so powerful. Unexpectedly, he lost Taishou and Xiahou Shang in a row. However, there are food and soldiers in the city, and there are city walls to rely on, so it is not difficult to resist the attack of these thousands of soldiers and horses under the city. Moreover, once Chen Liu is in trouble, other places will definitely hear the wind and send reinforcements to the rescue. So after being surprised, the county and the county lieutenant glanced at each other, and then made a decision to continue to hold on, waiting for reinforcements.

It's just that Ma Chao will not do what they want? Ma Chao saw the appearance of two officials above the city, but he didn't say a word. He rolled his eyes, ordered everyone to drag Xiahou Shang, and then drew a knife and rested on Xiahou Shang's neck, shouting to the city: "This is Xiahou Shang, Xiahou Yuan's nephew!" Do you want to see death or save it? If you don't open the city and surrender, I will kill it! ”

Although Xiahou Shang didn't want to die, he didn't want to be insulted by this, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but struggle, and scolded Ma Chao: "Thief, how dare you insult me?" ”

Then he shouted to the city, "The people of the city have heard clearly, and they are not allowed to surrender, otherwise I will die and become a ghost and will not let you go!" I, Xiahou, will die if I die, so what is there to fear! ”

Ma Chao was furious when he heard this, waved his hand, and two pro-soldiers flashed out next to him, picked up Xiahou Shang, and smashed the sandbag-sized fist on Xiahou Shang's abdomen, only to make Xiahou Shang bend his body, but he couldn't say a word anymore. Ma Chao ordered someone to drag Xiahou Shang down, and then looked at the city head and said: "Give you a pillar of incense time, if you don't surrender, immediately behead Xiahou Shang, and then attack the city, I will do what I say!" ”

The county lieutenant looked at the county in embarrassment, the county was a scholar, and flicked the sleeves of his robe and said, "How can a husband be subject to thieves!" Xiahou Boren suffered this humiliation from the hands of a thief, how could we follow in his footsteps? With a strong city as a support, Chen Liu's fear! ”

The county lieutenant scolded in his heart, pedantic! Taishou is dead, Xiahou Shang is still dead in the city, even if Chen Liu is saved, in the case of Taishou Ren Jun and Xiahou Shang are dead, who will bear the anger of Xiahou? Who will bear the responsibility for the defeat?

When the time comes, the Taishou will all die of thieves, and I, the county lieutenant who led the troops, will live in the city in a good manner, do you still need to think about the result?

You have nothing to do left and right, and then it's a big deal not to be this official, so I think that the big festival will not be lost, who will think about it for me? If something happens to me, who will take care of my wife and children at home?

The county lieutenant frowned and said, "Xiahou Boren is the closest relative of General Xiahou, if we sit back and watch him be beheaded under the city, how will I explain to General Xiahou at that time?" ”

Jun Cheng said: "If the crockpot does not break from the well, the general will inevitably die in front of the battle, which has been reasonable since ancient times." General Xiahou is a veteran general in the army, is he an unreasonable person? If there is any blame, I will bear it! ”

The county lieutenant thought to himself, anyone can be reasonable, and you will see if you are in a hurry for your son and nephew. I'm afraid that in the eyes of General Xiahou, a mere Chen Liu can't match his nephew, right?

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, the county lieutenant thought that he didn't plan to convince him. Just do it. Where Chen Liu, where to go, it's my business, to keep my own family is serious again. So he immediately pounced on the county, overturned the county to the ground, and then untied the belt around his waist to tie the county to a strong one.

When the soldiers on the left and right saw it, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The county lieutenant was afraid that the soldiers would mutiny, so he got up and said: "Xiahou Boren is the nephew of General Xiahou Miaocai, if he dies in the city, General Xiahou will definitely condemn us." It is better to surrender to protect the life of Xiahou Boren. "After Taishou Ren Jun died in battle, the lieutenant in the army in the city was the boss. When he said this, the soldiers, who had been a little panicked, quickly calmed down.

The county man never dreamed that this county lieutenant would be so shameless, and he would turn his face when he shouted. He lay down on the ground and scolded: "The erection is not enough, if Chen is lost, Yanzhou will be difficult to protect." When the time comes, they will all be thieves and prisoners! ”

Since the county lieutenant has made a decision, he naturally will not leave half of his face, he walked to the side of the county cheng, kicked him, and said: "What kind of thief prisoner, Naigong is to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and become a Han general again!" ”

Before the hour of a pillar of incense arrived, the county lieutenant carried the county in a bundle and dedicated the city. The only requirement is to ensure the safety of Xiahou Shang's life.

Ma Chao laughed, thinking that this Xiahou Shang was really easy to use. In this case, the next step is to use it more. He said: "Don't worry, Xiahou Shang can't die even if he wants to." "Indeed, Xiahou Shang was stuffed with strips of cloth in his mouth, and he couldn't kill himself even if he wanted to bite his tongue.

Ma Chao threatened him again, saying that if you are bent on death, then you will be stripped naked and hung on the city to show the public, and then dismantle eight pieces. When Xiahou Shang heard this, he scolded in his heart, but he didn't want to die at all. He was more afraid of dying than dying.

After entering Chenliu, Ma Chao didn't stay long, and sent someone to inform the friendly troops in Kaifeng County overnight to come to Chenliu to transport grain. Zhao Yun stationed an army in Kaifeng County to prevent Chen Liu's and Yingchuan Cao army. Hearing the letter, he was overjoyed, so he hurried to Chenliu and emptied all of Chenliu in just a few days. When the news spread, when the reinforcements that Xiahou Shang had invited before, Chen Liu was already an empty city.

After capturing Chenliu, Ma Chao replenished food and soldiers, and then rushed away. At this time, Yanzhou and Yuzhou also received urgent reports. After Cheng Yu and the others saw it, they couldn't help but be shocked. Xiahou not only did not relieve the siege of Chen Liu, but fell into the hands of thieves himself? Too stubborn Ren Jun died in battle?

The enemy army is so cunning, so where will his next target be? Everyone swept their eyes over the map and looked at Dingtao. Chen Gong and others all knew in their hearts that the main goal of the enemy's army entering the rear of Yanzhou was to attack the grain storage in Yanzhou. Just look at the enemy army coming down from the white horse. In this case, the enemy's goal is now clear.

Dong Zhao also thought of it in his heart, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, Dingtao was his Dong family's base camp, and if he attracted the enemy, he was afraid that he would be punished. So he hurriedly said: "Dingtao cannot afford to be lost, and the army should be sent to help." ”

Cheng Yu glanced at Dong Zhao and said, "It's okay, Dingtao is the ruler of Jiyin County, and there are many soldiers and horses." The enemy does not necessarily dare to come. ”

Dong Zhao retorted: "What about Chen Liu? It is also the rule of Chen Liujun! ”

Chen Gong thought that Chen Liu's crime of non-war was wrong, Ren Jun died first, Xiahou Shang was captured, and the dragons in the county had no leader, so they had to surrender. How can Dingtao follow in Chen's footsteps, Lao Dong, are you too anxious?

Cheng Yu said unhappily: "I have my own decision on this matter, and Gongren doesn't need to say more." "Cheng Yu is the oldest among all the ministers, old and serious, resourceful, and deeply trusted by Cao Cao. As soon as he spoke, Dong Zhao stopped talking.
